Good episodes

Dying for pie: a classic episode that always keeps me entertained, I like how Squidward actually CARES about Spongebob in this episode. I also found the activities funny . this was a great episode. "GARY YOU ARE GOING TO FINISH YOU'R DESSERT AND YOU'RE GONNA LIKE IT!!!!!"

Imitation Krabs: this episode was OK, but it was an average Plankton episode, so I don't have much to say about it. rating: 9.5/10 Amoreless

TRIVIA (29)

This is the first episode of SpongeBob SquarePants to depict blood, but not the first Nicktoon. Doug, The Ren and Stimpy Show, Rocko's Modern Life and Rugrats have depicted blood in a non-violent manner.

In "Imitation Krabs", when SpongeBob was asking both Krabs that last question, why didn't he ask the robot Krabs the question, how could he guess that he was the real one without asking him the question?

When SpongeBob was checking his fun things list, the list kept changing each time. For example, when he checked the introduce Squidward to everyone wearing a salmon suit, the next thing was knock knock jokes, but when he did it and checked it on the list above it was something else other than what was there before, also the last thing they checked was the same clip of the first check, the salmon suit thing.

Earlier in "Dying for Pie," SpongeBob seems to have eaten the pie already, since it is shown that it reached his lower intestine, yet SpongeBob later reveals that he was actually saving the pie for him and Squidward to share.

In Imitation Krabs, wouldn't have been easier for Plankton to just simply have the robot Mr. Krabs ask SpongeBob to make him a Krabby Patty instead of going through all of those ridiculous things just to get the formula when he could taste what's in the actual food?

During the 3rd question with the 2 mr krabs, he said "If its the third week of january and its not raining out side" or something like that... WAIT... it can NEVER be raining outside, because they are under water~!

Fish: Hmm, these patties sure are delicious. I wonder what's in that secret formula.(alarm sounds)SpongeBob: Code 12! Code 12! (leaps at the fish and grabs his head) Your disguises can't fool me this time, Plankton! (he pulls the fish's head off revealing he has a smaller, silly-looking head)Fish: Everybody at the Head Enhancement Clinic said no body would notice!

Plankton in disguise: Are you Spongebob Squarepants?Spongebob: Why yes... yes I am!Plankton: Then you've just won 1 million dollars!Spongebob: Wow!Plankton: Well all you have to do is answer this question! What is the krabby patty secret formula?Plankton: Yes? (Spongebob gasps) YES? (Spongebob gasps) YES! (Spongebob gasps)Spongebob: (fast) The krabby patty formula is the sole property of the Krusty Krab and is only to be discussed in part or in whole with it's creator Mr. Krabs. Duplication of this formula is punishable by law. Restrictions apply, results may vary. (Smiles)

SpongeBob: Here it is, the sunset! I just love to count it down! 5! You do the rest, buddy!Squidward: 4...3...2...1...Sun: (is still there)SpongeBob: ...I guess we started too early!Squidward: 5...4...3...(KA-BOOM!!)Squidward: Two...(sobbing) O-o-one! (cries) At least I was able to make his last few hours meaningful...(sniffle) I am such a good person. (KA-BOOM!!!)Wall: (falls on Squidward)

Squidward: I spent the whole day with you, doing all kinds of ridiculous things, because you were supposed to explode!Spongebob: You want me to explode?Squidward: Yes! That is what I've been waiting for!Spongebob: Okay, I'll try, mphphphPHPHPH, GARY, YOU ARE GONNA FINISH YOU DESSERT, AND YOU ARE GOING TO LIKE IT! (Laughs) Now it's your turn.Squidward: THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT YOU BARNACLEHEAD!Spongebob:(Clapping) Oh, good one!

Squidward: Why are you still here?Spongebob: Well, I thought since we finished the first list, I'd make up a new one. I already filled this book with ideas. We should be able to finish by January.Squidward: (Knocking a book out of Spongebob's hands) FORGET THE BOOK!

Plankton: Okay, now let's hear that formula.SpongeBob: Sorry, no can do, Mr. Krabs.Plankton: WHAAAAAT? But we did everything you said! I followed all the rules! I even ate 105 black licorice jellybeans through a STRAW!

NOTES (22)

Mr. Krabs seeing the whole bomb-eating pie thing about 11 times could be a reference to the running time of each episode. Other episodes that reference the running time are "Nature Pants" and "Missing Identity".

On the DVD Nautical Nonsense/Sponge Buddies, if you turn on Backstage Pants and watch DFP, during the explosion at the end, the BSP interview with Hillenburg explains how they are all walking and talking sea animals- Bikini Bottom is near an island where N-bombs were tested. Radiation sifted through the water to Bikini Bottom, where they were all infected.

The Explosion: N/AAs mentioned, Stephen Hillenburg said that the creatures of Bikini Bottom were affected by radiation from nuclear tests. In 1946, extensive atomic bomb testing by the US occurred in and around a small island in the PACIFIC known as Bikini Atoll (which is where the got the name for the swimsuits from). The explosion actually shown here is from the H-Bomb tests of the 1950s (I have seen it on the History Channel in a program related to this subject, along with numerous other places), which rules out it being from World War II, which lasted from 1939-5 (and the only A-Bombs in that war were used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the films of those bombings look nothing like the explosion seen in Dying For Pie.
